Sources: 11. Developments: 2. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Admiral Brad Cooper visited Israel to conduct security talks with senior military officials regarding regional stability in Iran and the Gaza Strip. Discussions included a proposed ceasefire plan involving a gradual Israeli withdrawal, the disarmament of Hamas, and the creation of a Palestinian technocratic committee to administer Gaza. While the United States has expressed commitment to a 15-point ceasefire plan, tensions remain over the implementation of its second stage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the plan, maintaining that the military will not withdraw from occupied areas until Hamas is fully disarmed. In response to the situation, the United Nations has authorized the establishment of an ‘International Stability Force’ for Gaza. Although Morocco has offered a small contingent, the legal framework and the final composition of this multinational force remain undetermined. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-11: CENTCOM Commander reaffirms U.S. commitment to 15-point Gaza ceasefire plan U.S. CENTCOM Commander Cooper reaffirmed commitment to a 15-point Gaza ceasefire plan during a visit to Israel, despite previous opposition from Prime Minister Netanyahu. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/centcom-commander-reaffirms-us-commitment-to-15-point-gaza-ceasefire-plan ### 2026-08-08: CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper visits Israel for security talks U.S. CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper met with IDF leadership in Israel to discuss regional security, Gaza ceasefire negotiations, and ongoing tensions involving Iran. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/centcom-commander-discusses-gaza-ceasefire-and-iran-in-israel --- Cite as: US-Israel security talks and Gaza ceasefire negotiations.
